Let's solve this problem step by step.
Let's assume that after "x" days, Perry and Nick will have the same amount of money.
After "x" days, Perry will have $350 - ($6 * x) dollars.
After "x" days, Nick will have $8 * x dollars.
We can set up an equation to find the value of "x":
$350 - ($6 * x) = $8 * x
Let's solve for x:
$350 - 6x = 8x
350 = 8x + 6x
350 = 14x
x = 350 / 14
x ≈ 25
After approximately 25 days, Perry and Nick will have the same amount of money.
